enormous ice sheet, a development that is being seen as the most alarming sign of global warming.
Rice's position as top security adviser to the president before the invasion of Iraq gave her unique insight
as to why the White House had put forth its claim that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was buying uranium from Niger.
He can clearly dominate foreign policy and even shift it toward a more Islamic axis.

Are American lives worth more than Iraqi ones?
More Radio Villains
Right Wing Radio Prostitues Spewing Talking Points - youtube video
Before the latest chapter in the never-ending story of the US shooting rampage, prostitutes in the media
were obsessed with the dismissal of radio dinosaur Don Imus. Imus said something stupid and was fired for it.
I don't care about Imus, I've never listened to his show, but I disagree with the decision to sack him. I believe
in freedom of speech for even the most vile of speakers; if you don't like what they are saying, turn them off.
Having said that, there are quite a few despicable radio hosts who continue to broadcast to audiences of millions,
despite saying things that are way more offensive than Imus' botched joke. I think that all of the fascists
featured in this clip are really terrible people. Glenn Beck for example, is a drunken ideologue whose "solutions"
to the world's problems would result in the extinction of the human race. Still, I'll defend his right to spew
rhetoric. Banning the words of these people is the top of a slippery slope that ends with muzzles for all.

Propaganda Versus Reality
Michael Ware in Iraq - youtube video
"If I have any difficulty hearing you right now Wolf, that's beacuse of the helicopters circling
overhead and the gun battle that is blazing away just a few blocks down the road." - Michael Ware
